He doesn't actually show up, there's just a throwaway "bad timeline" joke (like the Taco Bell one) where Stallone essentially does a spit-take when someone mentions the President Schwarzenegger Library, as if they would not only change the rules to make the dude from Hercules In New York into the President of the country, but also name a place of education after him

Clearly, all evidence shows that it's actually us living in the bad timeline, and therefore our job to is to somehow return to the Demolition Man timeline, destroy the good versions of ourselves and take their place watching President Arnie and his pet donkey on Instagram showing you how to fit a mask and correctly wash your hands

UT is promising the same. They’re still tweeting like football is totally A Thing That Is Gonna Happen this year come hell or high water and it’s both sad and adorable.



Actually, gently caress football, I’m trying to figure out how the gently caress anybody is gonna do marching band during COVID. I did Longhorn Band for a couple of years and any kind of social distancing is gonna be impossible for them. Even if they can manage to distance during shows and parades and poo poo, there’s still pretty much no way they’ll be able to do it for rehearsals or playing in the stands, even with the stadium at 50% capacity.

I can’t remember the source, but I heard or read somewhere that the risk of spreading COVID through playing a wind instrument is pretty low, which...... I don’t know if I buy that, but even if the risk of shooting the virus out the bell of a trumpet like a loving ‘rona machine gun is low, band instruments all have holes leaking spit out of them everywhere all the drat time. I feel like allowing that poo poo to happen on a surface that foot ball mans are gonna be falling down on a lot, and then crashing into each other on, is a disaster waiting to happen.

Oh I’m not even talking about field shows or parades. I’m thinking more rehearsals, sectionals, breakout groups, warm ups, plane rides, charter buses, overnight bunking and cots, showers... any of these put hundreds of people together for hours at a time in incredibly close quarters.

They have police drive throughs on the major roads in and out of the city and they're checking IDs and reasons for travel. Up until yesterday they were only stopping say 15% of the cars maybe, but apparently since yesterday it's really ramped up and it's taking up to an hour to get through the check point as they are stopping nearly everyone. Presumably that time will go down once everyone stops driving 100km to buy butter chicken and KFC (genuine reasons given).

You are correct Stallone is T2 in that timeline. And Demolition Man has President Schwarzenegger. I'd forgotten that Demolition Man was made at the time when Hollywood still thought criminals from LA dressed and acted like extras from Mad Max.

Hah, I’m on a retro kick too but it’s more like They Live and In the Mouth of Madness.

I finally watched the first Alien movie this weekend for the first time and remember at the time that much was made of them violating quarantine protocol against Ripley’s wishes. Given current context I’m sitting here like, the guy has a loving face hugger clamped to his face and even if they followed protocol it’s only 24 hrs before he can come on board to eat next to the rest of the crew in their recycled air spaceship??? If the xenomorph didn’t eat these guys first corona definitely would have.
